I was going to sign up for the patreon-thing as soon as I was done with the finals. Apparently the latest demo had the entirety of White Heaven Area finished, and Deep Area was in the works. Deep Area was supposed to have Flandre, CirnoBX and possibly MissileMan as bosses. The early access version is untranslated.

It's just not fair.

I believe the main story was complete and he was working on post-game stuff before cancellation. If you're lucky you may be able to grab the version on ci-en.

As far as the translation goes, the main translator mentioned on discord that he'd completed the main game, although I don't think it was all added to the game.
He's not awake at the moment so how the translation progresses from here is anybodys guess right now.

White Heaven Area and Deep Area are the two secret areas. White Heaven Area had Youmu and Yuyuko, Deep Area had CirnoBX and Flandre. I recorded streams of him developing both, as well as miscellaneous stuff like that dragon thing that is the latest update on his twatter.

The early access build was distributed with version number 0.50. The main story is supposed to be complete, but I've seen him edit the dialogue in Beyonroad even after he published the version where you supposedly could fight the final boss.

As far it is known only the Navi Customizer is patented, everything else should be fair game. I mean, if you could tell someone "stop ripping off my game gameplay or I'll sue you" then you'd have Nintendo suing everyone who'd ever made a platformer or Capcom suing everyone who'd ever made a fighting game or Square Enix suing everyone who'd ever made a JRPG. I could see this happening if it were an actual BN fangame, using it's characters and the such, like it's been the case with many previous fangames, but it is a Touhou fangame here, even if the gameplay is not-BN, that alone is enough to avoid any of that bullshit. There's gotta be something else he's not mentioning, the pieces don't fit.

If Capcom is the only problem I think the author could easily avoid the patented parts, but since Japanese people hate having to face troubles of this sort I feel it's over.
If ZUN and the crowfunding part is the problem instead, I think that could be settled too since ZUN has become very lenient as of late and I'm sure the rule is there in order to avoid scams, but this game is clearly a work of passion, and the result so far is pretty good.

Meh it was more of a Battle Network game than a Touhou game. You could put your own OCs instead of Touhou characters and nothing would change.
Also koki shot himself in the foot by trying to monetize the game. At the very least, avoid crowdfunding and shit like that for what essentially is a ripoff of someone else's game.

Nips are more like
>Stupid developer makes a stupid mistake. Nothing new.

He was trying to monetize it from the beginning. First the game was scheduled to be sold when it would be completed (which probably was the original reason for public demo ending on chapter 4), then he funded it through Niconico donations during streams, then he moved to Ci-en.

Isn't that how it always goes for every Touhou X something fangame? The most Touhou content they have is the characters and some bullet hell.

>> No.20462182

>>20461890
I guess what he means is that Koki's characters are hardly even Touhou characters despite their names. For example, characters in Touhouvania are loose interpretations of normal Touhou girls, with some fan stuff sprinkled on. But Reimu and Sakuya are still supposed to be themselves. Characters in Shanghai.EXE, on the other hand, range from innocent reinterpretations, like fan versions (plural) of Koakuma and Eirin being a hospital owner, to some major rewrites - certain characters' real names aren't even the 2hu names that they usually go by in the game, like Mayumi and Rachel.

I kinda feel like that's one of the parts of MMBN he understood very well, actually - I recall a good deal of Megaman characters becoming pretty different in that universe, keeping nothing more than their names as even their designs underwent major changes, in order to better fit how different it was.
What made me feel like it was more of a BN fangame though was the amount of original characters. Based on what I've seen of the game, it feels like it started out the Touhou fangame way, then Koki started getting more original ideas and the game ended up like that. Not complaining at all, in any case.

Dear XXXX,
I apologize for my poor Japanese skills, but I am writing to you as part of the English-speaking fan community of Shanghai Genso Network (Shanghai.exe).
As you may have heard, production of Shanghai.exe has been stopped, its creator forced to remove all copies of his work and cease all development, just before he was able to complete his story.
Many of his supporters around the world were caught off guard by these events, especially those who were unable to access the latest release before it disappeared due to international currency causing difficulties with the payment system.
I apologize for the invasion of privacy, but as part of the last hope for English-speaking fans of Shanghai.exe, I saw your name in the list of those who were able to receive a copy of the most recent demo.
On behalf of the international fans of the
late Shanghai.exe, I would like to ask if you would be willing to share this last demo, so the project may live on in some form.
Sincerely,
XXXX and the English-speaking fan community of Shanghai.exe

Obviously I'm not sending it in English, I was planning on getting (begging for) a translator who would find a similar sentiment in Japanese. Same with "late" meaning deceased, and probably a whole bunch of sentence structure bits that Google translate would absolutely butcher. Hell, "invasion of privacy" would probably translate to "I will break into your house".
What I was going for was the type of person who writes a fangame and posts touhou fanart all day on twitter, going for pity/empathy points, though I may have overdone it with the "fans around the world" stuff.
I fully admit I have no idea what I'm doing though, the only reason I'm involved is because I thought of it first. If anyone actually knows a translator or speaks Japanese, I would just be a middleman and I invite anyone else to be the one who comes up with and sends the email.

Maybe a brief revival when someone leaks the Ci-En build, but even then it'll cut off before the endgame and there will never be a "finished product".
Capcom's well and truly killed it, Koki will never continue working on it as long as he values having a roof over his head, and the rights to BN aren't going anywhere any time soon.
Honestly the only "revival" it could have would be some bored anonymous dev/team going through the effort of reverse engineering a build to hack in an endgame, which is an awful lot of work for adding a single section to a game which didn't even have enough english fans to leak a build after it got killed.
I'm praying for that outcome, but really I'm just trying forget about this whole thing so I don't dwell on how great things could have been.

I wrote a bit of a summary on different viruses almost a year ago, but I wrote all that stuff with the idea of eventual netbattling in mind. Viruses are not too useful against in-game threats, since higher level navis will rip through them no matter how much HP you give them, nor will the viruses do too much damage, however high their attack rating is.

Is there any actual justification to issuing C&D's to games like this? It seems like such a waste of effort, it's someone elses hard work as free advertising for your games. The fact that it took as long as it did for a leak seems to imply he wasn't exactly making a fortune off it either. I've never played a Battle Network game before but this is a lot of fun.

Using assets that are owned by someone else and trying to monitize- /v/

If he couldn't do this on the side and thought this was worth working on full time then yeah, he deserves his credit. Using assets you do not own however is a no no in the corporate world. They'll shove a lawsuit up your ass faster than Uncle Sam can put a gun to your head and demand taxes.

Something about losing the rights to your intellectual property if you don't sue everyone in sight, at least that's what they tell me. Maybe someone who knows more about these laws could chime in.

>> No.20591382

>>20591068
Realistically speaking, there is no proof that it was really C&D from Capcom, it could be just an excuse for some serious RL matter which makes him unable to resume working on the game, for time being at least (which would mean that he could pick it up later but it's just my making up a guess).

I can't say what actually was in those monthly builds, since he never shared changelogs after moving to Ci-en. All I'm able to find online is players having Youmu's chip, but she was the only postgame navi who was finished in September. Not one sighting of Yuyuko or Lavateinn.
